Description

  The present invention relates to a safety belt usage status monitoring system and an alarm system for monitoring the usage status of a safety belt worn by an aerial worker to prevent falling and issuing an alarm to a worker who is not using the safety belt. is there.

Workers in high places use a safety belt that consists of a waist belt wrapped around the waist, a winding device attached to the waist belt, and a hook attached to the tip of a lifeline drawn from the winding device. That is, if it is ensured that the hook is put on the master rope (falling prevention rope) during high altitude work, it is possible to prevent an accident at a high altitude worker from falling.
However, there are many cases where safety belts are not used properly due to a decrease in attention due to habituation to work and lack of safety awareness.Therefore, falling accidents for workers at high altitudes are still occurring. There is an urgent need to improve the rate.
Therefore, many proposals for improving the appropriate usage rate of the safety belt have been made in view of such necessity.

For example, a bar code reader that outputs a detection signal when a lifeline is pulled out from a winding device by a predetermined length or more in a case of a terminal attached to a safety belt, and transmission that transmits the detection signal together with unique identification data By receiving the signal transmitted from the transmitter at the receiver in the monitoring room away from the work site, and monitoring the usage status of the worker's safety belt, multiple operations can be performed from the received identification data. There are those who specify workers who do not use the safety belt and make recommendations on the use of the safety belt (for example, see Patent Document 1).
In addition, the case attached to the safety belt is equipped with a torque sensor that detects torque fluctuation of the lifeline, an alarm device, an RFID tag equipped with a power supply, and a control unit, and the state where there is no lifeline torque fluctuation lasted for a predetermined time or longer. In this case, an alarm device issues an alarm based on a command from the control unit, and the identification ID signal transmitted from the RFID tag is received by three or more transmitters / receivers installed in the work place and transmitted to the arithmetic device. In some cases, the position of the safety belt (the position of the worker) is calculated by an arithmetic device, and a signal for stopping the alarm device is transmitted by a transmitter / receiver when the position is outside a high place or a dangerous area (for example, patents) Reference 2).

JP 2002-336367 A (FIGS. 1-2 and 4-5) JP 2006-313425 A (FIG. 1-2)

In Patent Document 1, a lending indicator lamp for manually turning on a safety panel and a monitor panel in a monitoring room away from the work site when lending a terminal and a signal transmitted from a transmitter of the terminal are received by a receiver. Monitor in combination with the usage indicator lamp to be lit on the monitoring panel, and if only the rental indicator lamp is lit, it is judged that the safety belt is not being used properly, and the telephone to the site or the site is visited To encourage the proper use of safety belts.
However, in such a configuration, since there is no alarm device, it takes time to call attention to an aerial worker, and such a time lag may delay the response of the aerial worker and cause a fall accident.

In addition, even if only the lending indicator lamp is lit and the usage indicator lamp is not lit, there is an actual worker at the work site that is not using the safety belt, or temporarily from the work site. Since it is impossible to identify whether the operator is away, it is necessary to make a telephone call or go to the site to call attention even if the worker is not engaged in work at a high place.
In addition, when an operator at high altitude is away from the work site, it may be necessary to go around to check the safety of the worker.
Therefore, although the configuration of Patent Document 1 has a certain effect for improving the appropriate usage rate of the safety zone, the efficiency of monitoring the use of the safety zone and alerting and safety confirmation work for workers at high altitudes is poor. There is room for improvement in order to improve the safety of working at heights.

Moreover, in patent document 2, while the control part attached to the safety belt gives a command to the alarm device based on the information of the torque sensor and the alarm device issues an alarm, the worker is Since it is not necessary to issue an alarm when you are outside the area, if the position of the safety zone (the position of the worker) calculated by the calculation device is outside a high place or a hazardous area, the transmission / reception installed in the work area The alarm is not issued by transmitting a signal for stopping the alarm device by the machine.
However, when the workers in such high places or hazardous areas do not use the safety belt properly, the alarm device attached to the safety belt only issues a warning. Although there is a certain effect, the control unit attached to the safety belt gives a warning to the warning device for the worker wearing the safety belt. Information on the usage status of the safety belt is not communicated to the manager, etc., so proper use of the safety belt is left to the judgment of the worker who received the warning, and if the worker ignores the warning, In order to improve the safety of work at high places because the occurrence of safety may not be prevented and the safety of workers cannot be confirmed, monitoring the proper use of safety belts for workers at high places and the efficiency of safety confirmation work are poor. There is room for improvement A.

  Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention intends to solve the problem of monitoring the proper use of the safety belt of the worker at high altitude, the efficiency of the alerting and safety confirmation work, and improving the safety of the high altitude work. It is to provide a safety zone monitoring and warning system that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the safety belt use status monitoring and warning system according to the present invention is disposed at a predetermined location in a work site so that a predetermined work area including an aerial work area is set as a radio wave reachable range. Three or more RFID tag readers, a management computer that can be installed or carried at a position away from the work area, and connected to the RFID tag reader wirelessly or by wire, and a waist belt that is wrapped around a waist by an operator at high altitude, Detecting that the lifeline is drawn out to a predetermined length in a safety belt comprising a winding device attached to the waist belt and a hook attached to the tip of the lifeline drawn out from the winding device. A usage status transmitter that is equipped with an active RFID tag that periodically emits radio waves, and a two-way communication tag that always sends periodic radio waves to a portable housing. Position transmitting means comprising an active RFID tag, and an alarm command from the management computer is received by the two-way communication type active RFID tag via the RFID tag reader and activated, and an alarm that rings, vibrates or emits light And a position transmission and alarm confirmation device comprising alarm confirmation means for stopping the operation of the alarm means by operating a switch and transmitting an alarm confirmation signal by the active RFID tag of the bidirectional communication type, and The position transmitting means receives the radio waves from the three or more RFID tag readers, and calculates the position of the position transmitting means from the strength of these radio waves. The position transmitter calculated by the calculating means carried by a contractor If the position of the device is within the work area for high places and there is no radio wave transmission from the usage status transmission device, a safety belt with a usage status transmission device without this radio wave transmission is attached. An alarm command is issued from the management computer to the alarm means of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device carried by a high altitude worker, and the alarm means is activated.

  Here, the position transmission and alarm confirmation device is also carried by an operator who does not work at a high place, the high place worker wearing a safety belt attached with the use state transmission device without the radio wave transmission, and With respect to the alarm means of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device carried by the operator selected from the high altitude workers other than the high altitude workers and the workers who do not perform the high altitude work, these alarm means are in an operating state. It is preferable to issue an alarm command from the management computer.

  Further, it is preferable that the active RFID tag emits radio waves by turning on a reed switch with a magnet attached to the end of the lifeline of the lifeline and supplying power to the active RFID tag of the usage status transmission device. .

  According to the safety belt use status monitoring and alarm system according to the present invention, three or more pieces disposed at predetermined locations in a work site so that a predetermined work area including an aerial work area is a radio wave reachable range. An RFID tag reader, a management computer that can be installed or carried at a position away from the work area, and connected to the RFID tag reader wirelessly or by wire, and a waist belt that a worker at high altitude wraps around the waist, attached to the waist belt A periodic radio wave transmission is detected by detecting that the lifeline is drawn out to a predetermined length in a safety belt comprising a winding device and a hook attached to the tip of the lifeline drawn out from the winding device. Active type RFID device with active RFID tag attached and active two-way communication type that periodically transmits radio waves to a portable case Position transmitting means comprising an RFID tag, alarm means from the management computer received by the active RFID tag of the two-way communication type via the RFID tag reader, and an alarm means for sounding or vibrating or emitting light, and Position transmission and alarm confirmation device comprising alarm confirmation means for stopping the operation of the alarm means by operating a switch and transmitting an alarm confirmation signal by the active RFID tag of the two-way communication type, and the position transmission means Receiving the radio waves from the three or more RFID tag readers and calculating the position of the position transmitting means based on the strength of these radio waves, and carrying the position transmission and alarm check device to an operator at high altitude. The position of the position transmitting means calculated by the calculating means is the high If the worker is in a work area and there is no radio wave transmission from the usage status transmission device, an altitude worker wearing a safety belt equipped with the usage status transmission device without this radio wave transmission An alarm command is issued from the management computer to the alarm means of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device that is carried, and the alarm means is activated, so that an altitude worker pulls out a lifeline of a safety belt for a predetermined length and hooks Since the active RFID tag of the usage status transmission device emits radio waves in the proper usage state with the parent line placed on the master rope, the proper usage state can be confirmed on a management computer away from the work area.

In addition, the position of the position transmission means is known by the calculation means, and therefore the position of the high altitude worker carrying the position transmission and alarm confirmation device is known, so when this high altitude worker is not in the high altitude work area, Even when there is no radio wave transmission from the usage status transmission device, an alarm command is not issued from the management computer, so that false alarms can be eliminated.
In addition, when an operator at high altitude operates the alarm confirmation means switch, an alarm confirmation signal is transmitted by an active RFID tag of a two-way communication type, so the safety of the operator at high altitude is confirmed on a management computer away from the work area. Can do.
In addition, when a safety manager performs a safety patrol, he / she carries a portable management computer (personal digital assistant) so that he / she can use the safety belt properly while checking the position of the worker at a high place during the safety patrol. It is possible to issue an alarm command to the alarm means of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device carried by an unoccupied high-altitude worker, and to pay attention to the high-altitude worker and to ensure proper use of the safety belt.

  Also, the position transmitter and alarm confirmation device can be carried by a worker who does not work at a high place, and the worker at a high place wearing a safety belt with a use state transmitter that does not transmit the radio wave, and this These alarm means are activated for the alarm means of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device carried by the operator selected from the high altitude workers other than the high altitude workers and the workers who do not perform the high altitude work. Thus, when an alarm command is issued from the management computer, an altitude worker who does not properly use the safety belt in response to the operation of the warning means, in addition to the above effect, temporarily pulls out the lifeline of the safety belt for a predetermined length. Even if the alarm confirmation signal is transmitted by operating the switch of the alarm confirmation means without operating the hook on the master rope in the state in which the radio wave is transmitted to the active RFID tag of the usage status transmission device For example, a nearby high altitude worker or a worker who does not perform high altitude work does not properly use the safety belt in response to the position transmission carried by himself or the operation of the alarm means of the alarm confirmation device. In order to alert workers at high altitudes and confirm whether or not the workers at high altitudes have used safety belts properly, the appropriate use rate of safety belts should be further improved by such a mutual check function. Can do.

  Furthermore, when the active RFID tag transmits a radio wave by turning on a reed switch with a magnet attached to the end of the lifeline of the lifeline and supplying power to the active RFID tag of the usage status transmitter, In addition to the above effect, by using a reed switch with very high contact reliability and a magnet attached to the end of the lifeline winding device, the power supply circuit connected to the active RFID tag of the usage status transmission device is turned on, Since power is supplied to the active RFID tag, the reliability of the usage status transmission device can be maintained high over a long period of time.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and includes all the embodiments that satisfy the requirements described in the claims. .
1 to 4 are schematic views showing a safety belt usage monitoring and alarm system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state where an operator at high altitude uses the safety belt properly. Fig. 2 (a) is an enlarged front view showing the configuration of the safety belt and usage status transmission device, Fig. 2 (b) is an enlarged front view showing the configuration of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device, and Fig. 3 (a) is the system. FIG. 3B is a view showing an example of a worker position confirmation screen in the management computer, and FIG. 4 is a position transmission and alarm confirmation device (position transmission means) ID number and usage status transmission in the management computer. It is a figure which shows the example of the correlation screen with the ID number of an apparatus.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an altitude worker W who works in an altitude work area HW wraps a waist belt 12 of a safety belt 11 around his / her waist and attaches a hook 15 attached to the tip of a lifeline 14 to a master rope. By carrying out the work in a state (appropriate use state) hung on the (falling prevention rope) 10, it is possible to prevent an accident at the high place worker W from falling.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the safety belt 11 is pulled out from the waist belt 12 wound around the waist by the operator W at the height, the winding device 13 attached to the waist belt 12, and the winding device 13 as described above. It consists of a lifeline 14 and a hook 15 attached to the tip of the lifeline 14.
In addition, the safety belt 11 is a unidirectional communication type active RFID (Radio) that detects that the lifeline 14, which is the usage status transmission device 16, is in a state of being pulled out by a predetermined length and performs periodic radio wave transmission. Frequency Identification) tag 17 is attached, and the RFID tag 17 is connected in series with a power source and a reed switch 18 (not shown).

The active RFID tag 17 is not limited to the unidirectional communication type, but may be a bidirectional communication type.
Further, for example, a magnetic tape 19 which is a magnet is attached to the end of the lifeline 14 on the winding device 13 side, and the lifeline 14 is locked in a state where the lifeline 14 is pulled out, and this state is maintained. It faces the reed switch 18.

Accordingly, when the lifeline 14 is pulled out by a predetermined length, the reed switch 18 is turned on by the magnetism of the magnetic tape 19 at the end of the winding device 13, and the unidirectional communication type active RFID tag 17 receives power from the power source. Therefore, periodic radio wave transmission (ID number transmission) is performed from the RFID tag 17.
The reed switch 18 is a device that opens and closes a lead piece in a glass tube sealed with an inert gas and shielded from outside air, and has very high contact reliability. Therefore, the reed switch 18 has high reliability over a long period of time. Can be maintained.

As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the position transmission and alarm check device 20 is a two-way communication type active device that is supplied with electric power from a power supply circuit (not shown) to a portable casing 21 and periodically emits radio waves. A position transmitting means 22 composed of a type RFID tag 23, an alarm command from a management computer 2 described later, received by the RFID tag 23 via an RFID tag reader 1 described later, and is activated, and comprises a buzzer 25 that rings and a lamp 26 that emits light. The alarm means 24 and the alarm confirmation means 27 for stopping the operation of the alarm means 24 by operating a switch such as an on / off switch such as a push button 28 or a toggle switch and transmitting an alarm confirmation signal by the RFID tag 23 are provided. It will be.
The alarm means 24 may be a vibrator that warns an operator by vibrating, and includes at least one of a buzzer 25, a lamp 26, and a vibrator.

  Accordingly, the bidirectional communication type active RFID tag 23, which is the position transmission means 22 of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20, constantly transmits radio waves (ID number transmission), and the alarm means 24 is activated. When the alarm confirmation means 27 is operated in a state where the alarm is present, the alarm means 24 is stopped and an alarm confirmation signal is transmitted from the active RFID tag 23 of the bidirectional communication type.

  A worker at high altitude W shown in FIG. 1 wears a safety belt 11 equipped with a usage status transmission device 16 and also carries a position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20. Depending on the configuration of the alarm means 24, the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 may be attached to the waist belt 12 or placed in a pocket of work clothes so that it can be carried by the worker at high altitude W. Good.

Next, the monitoring and warning system of the safety belt usage status using the usage status transmission device 16 and the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 as described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3 (a), for example, four RFID tag readers 1,... Are provided at a predetermined location in the work site so that a predetermined work area including the high place work area HW is the radio wave reachable range RA. The two-way communication type active RFID tag 23 of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 and the one-way communication type active RFID tag 17 of the usage status transmission device 16 can be communicated.

The RFID tag reader 1 includes a control device and an antenna 1A, and communicates with the RFID tags 23 and 17 through the antenna 1A. The RFID tag reader 1 automatically communicates with the management computer 2 installed at a position away from the work area. A protocol converter (gateway terminal), which is a communication procedure converter, is provided integrally or separately.
Here, the RFID tag reader 1 and the management computer 2 are wirelessly connected via the wireless LAN access point 5 and the LAN 6, but may be connected by wire, and the number of RFID tag readers 1,. It may be more than one.

  The management computer 2 is composed of, for example, a server 3 and a client 4, and the client 4 includes a main body 4A and a monitor 4B of the personal computer. The server 3 or the client 4 includes an RFID tag 23 (position transmitting means 22). Are received by the RFID tag reader 1,..., And calculating means for calculating the position of the RFID tag 23 (position transmitting means 22) by the three-point surveying method based on the strength of these radio waves.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the morning meeting before the start of work, the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 is distributed and carried to all workers including workers at high places W,. The management computer 2 associates the ID number of the RFID tag 23 (position transmission tag) of the confirmation device 20 with the RFID tag of the usage status transmission device 16 attached to the safety belt 11 worn by the worker at a high place. The ID number of 17 (usage status transmission tag) is also associated.
That is, in the example of FIG. 4, A, B, C, and D are all workers in all workers, and the ID number of the usage status transmission tag and the location transmission tag are (101,001). ), (102,002), (103,003), (104,004),.

When the work is started and the high places workers A and B use the safety belt 11 properly and the high places workers C and D do not use the safety belt 11 properly, the high places workers A and B wear them. There is a transmission of an ID number from the RFID tag 17 of the usage status transmission device 16 attached to the safety belt 11, and the RFID tag 17 of the usage status transmission device 16 attached to the safety belt 11 attached to the workers C and D at high places. There is no ID number from.
In this situation, on the worker position confirmation screen shown in FIG. 3B, for example, “○” is displayed on the usage status transmission tags 101 and 102 of the high-place workers A and B who are using the safety belt 11 properly. For example, “x” marks are displayed on the usage status transmission tags 103 and 104 of the high-place workers C and D who are not properly using the safety belt 11.

Further, the position of the RFID tag 23 (position transmission tag) is calculated by the calculation means, and the position (the position of each worker) is displayed on the screen by the ID number 001, 002,. .
For example, the ID numbers 001 and 002 of the location dispatching tags of the aerial workers A and B indicated by reference numeral 7 in the screen of FIG. 3B are located in the aerial work area HW, and the aerial worker C indicated by reference numeral 8. The ID number 003 of the position transmission tag is also located in the high place work area HW, and the ID number 004 of the position transmission tag of the high place worker D shown by reference numeral 9 is located outside the high place work area HW.

In addition, among the ID numbers 005, 006, 007, 008 of the position transmission tags of the workers E, F, G, H other than the high-altitude worker displayed on the worker position confirmation screen shown in FIG. The ID numbers 005, 006, and 008 of the position transmission tags of the workers E, F, and H are located in the high place work area HW. For example, the work is performed on the ground or at a low place. Is not an aerial worker.
In addition, “」 ”in FIG. 3B indicates a delimitation between the ID number of the usage status transmission tag and the ID number of the position transmission tag, and the workers E, F, G, and H who are not high-altitude workers. Since there is no ID number of the usage status transmission tag since the safety belt 11 is not attached, “◎” is displayed before the ID number 005,006,007,008 of the position transmission tag.

In FIG. 3 (b), the ID number 003 of the location dispatching tag of the high altitude worker C indicated by reference numeral 8 is located in the high altitude work area HW. Since the “x” mark is displayed as shown, it is understood that the worker at high altitude C does not properly use the safety belt 11 during the work at high altitude.
In addition, in order to easily and reliably identify an aerial worker who does not properly use the safety belt 11 during the aerial work, the display of the aerial worker C indicated by reference numeral 8 in the worker position confirmation screen is performed. Is different in color from other displays, such as red.
Since the ID number 004 of the position transmission tag of the high altitude worker D indicated by reference numeral 9 is not in the high altitude work area HW, the use status transmission tag 104 of the high altitude worker D is marked with “X” as described above. Although it is displayed, it is not displayed in a different color because it is not working at height.

For example, when the safety manager looks at the worker position confirmation screen on the monitor 4B of the management computer 2 and finds the worker C at a high place (ID number 003 of the position transmission tag) displayed in a different color as described above. The safety manager transmits the alarm signal from the management computer 2 via the RFID tag reader 1 by designating the RFID tag 23 (ID number 003) of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 carried by the worker at high altitude C.
It should be noted that the transmission of the alarm signal from the management computer 2 may be performed automatically instead of manual input by a safety manager or the like.

  According to the configuration as described above, the position of the RFID tag 23 (position transmission tag) calculated by the calculation means is within the high work area HW, and the RFID tag 17 (usage status transmission tag). When there is no radio wave transmission from the position transmitter and the alarm means 24 of the alarm confirmation device 20 carried by the high altitude worker W wearing the safety belt 11 to which the RFID tag 17 without the radio wave transmission is attached is provided. An alarm command is issued, and when the high altitude worker W,... Is not in the high altitude work area HW, no alarm command is issued from the management computer 2 even when there is no radio wave transmission from the RFID tag 17. , Can eliminate false alarms.

Since the alarm signal 24 (for example, the buzzer 25 and the lamp 26) of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 shown in FIG. And prompt attention.
In addition, the operator C at a high place can stop the operation of the alarm means 24 by pressing the push button 28, and an alarm confirmation signal is transmitted from the RFID tag 23. It is possible to confirm the safety of the worker at a high place.
Further, when the worker C at high place pulls out the lifeline 14 of the safety belt 11 shown in FIG. 2 (a) for a predetermined length and hangs the hook 15 on the parent rope (falling prevention rope) 10 (appropriate use state), Since the reed switch 18 is turned on by the magnetic tape 19 and periodic radio wave transmission (transmission of the ID number 103) is performed from the RFID tag 17, the operator position confirmation screen shown in FIG. The “X” mark shown changes to a “○” mark, and the color changes from, for example, red to the same color as other display colors. Therefore, it is easy and sure to confirm that the operator C at high places has used the safety belt 11 properly. Can do.

Further, as described above, since the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 is distributed and carried to all workers including the high place workers W,..., The worker who does not perform the high place work also transmits the position transmission and warning confirmation device. 20 is carried.
Therefore, the high-altitude worker C (see reference numeral 8) on the worker position confirmation screen in FIG. 3B does not properly use the safety belt 11 during the high-altitude work, and the high-altitude work other than the high-altitude worker C. Workers A and B (refer to reference numeral 7) and workers H other than the high-altitude workers (the ID number 008 of the position transmission tag) are selected from the workers (preferably those who are close to the high-altitude worker C). It is preferable to issue an alarm command from the management computer 2 to the alarm means 24 of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 that is carried in the same manner as the alarm operator 24 is alarmed.

  In this way, by issuing an alarm command to an operator who is as close as possible to an operator at high altitude C as much as possible, even for those other than the operator at high altitude C who does not use the safety belt 11 properly during high altitude work. The worker C temporarily pulls out the lifeline 14 of the safety belt 11 to a predetermined length so that the radio wave is transmitted to the RFID tag 17 and the hook 15 is not hung on the master rope 10, and the push button 28 is further pressed to transmit an alarm confirmation signal. Even if it is allowed, for example, a nearby high-altitude worker or an operator who does not perform high-altitude work responds to the position transmission and the alarm means 24 of the alarm confirmation device 20 carried by himself / herself, In order to call attention to an aerial worker C who has not used 11 properly, and to check whether or not the safety worker 11 has used the safety belt 11 properly, such a check function between the workers In Ri the proper usage of safety belts can be further improved.

  Further, if the management computer 2 can carry at least the client 4 and the safety manager carries the portable management computer (personal digital assistant) when performing the safety patrol, during the safety patrol. While confirming the position of the high altitude worker W,..., An alarm command is given to the alarm means 24 of the position transmission and alarm confirmation device 20 carried by the high altitude worker W who does not use the safety belt 11 properly. It is possible to pay attention to high-altitude workers and ensure proper use of safety belts.

  In addition, as described above, the power source connected to the active RFID tag 17 of the unidirectional communication type by the reed switch 18 having very high contact reliability and the magnetic tape 19 attached to the end of the lifeline 14 on the winding device side. Since the circuit is turned on and power is supplied to the RFID tag 17, the reliability of the usage status transmission device 16 for notifying the management computer 2 of the proper usage status of the safety belt 11 is maintained high for a long period of time. Can do.
